Abstract

An 88-year-old man ingested coins accidentally and developed mediastinitis and septic shock. Esophageal injuries by sharped-shape foreign bodies are often reported, but esophageal perforation by round coins is rare. Even rounded-shape foreign bodies that are unlikely to injure esophagus may lead to severe outcomes.
